Ok well maybe I can partake in a fantasy football league jsut to see what all the fuss is about.

But if someone catches me with a chunk of cheese on my head with horns comming out of it please shoot me.

the draft is set for Mon Aug 29 at 4:00pm Eastern Time.
i couldnt find a day with late drafts still available, Four was the latest on most days, and there was nothing after Six.
so if you want the draft moved let me know as soon as possible, before everything gets booked
also, i have no preference really, so let me know and anything should work.

so far we have Myself, Jon, Sand, Neil, Kicker(sorry, i dont know your name?), probably Reno, Corey, and Rob. So we should have at least 8 teams, and maybe 10

I'm about to make a post on the league message board asking for input, so read that and respond. even if you have nothing to say, let me know.

So yea I could read through the instructions but I'm lazy ..

Am I to assume correctly that once the 29th hits the market is free for people to start grabbing up their picks?

Is there any kind of turn based deal where you can only pick 1 or 2 ata atime untill the next person makes their picks or should I be poised over my picks the second 4:00 hits if I want the most popular guys?

I can still pick whats leftover later on right?

Thanks!

it's a live draft. everyone in the league will be at the draft (either picking live or with pre-picked players)... it's like a normal draft. one player at a time, starting from 1-10, then 10-1.

On the subject of being too lazy to look up things ...

Wathcing MNF, I thought Ricky Williams called it quits last year or the year before?

starseed_10 · Post by **starseed_10** » 8/8/2005, 9:41 pm

he failed a drug test during camp before last season.
They suspended him four games, so he went ahead and retired

But it turns out if he doesn't honour his contract, he owes the dolphins like, 8 million from his signing bonus.
So now of course he's coming back cause he cant afford it

The Colts won't get to the Super Bowl because they'll more than likely have to play in New England in the middle of winter and Peyton chokes everytime he has to step outside.

That is if New England's D is going to be the same after losing as many people as they already have...

starseed_10 · Post by **starseed_10** » 8/12/2005, 9:51 am

both sides of New England shouldn't be as strong
I won't put anything past Belichic, but i think indy can take them this year.

They play at NE on november 7th, and they might lose that game - i'll be honest, they sucked last time - but they still should have a good enough team and schedule to get homefield over the pats.
